D 17. Check the alignment of the top wing by

measuring from the aft end of the fuselage to each

wing tip as shown in the sketch If you are not

wing, and re-glue the ribs.

D 16 Test fit the wing onto the cabane wires To
do so, just drop the wing down onto the wires until

the wires hit the 1/16" ply wire stops The triangles
will help line up the wires with the tubes Now slide
the wing backwards until it will go no further Look
at the cabane wires from underneath the wing to
see if they are fully inserted into the brass tubes as
shown in the photo If the wing does not easily
slide onto the cabane wires, it is usually because
the wires are not correctly aligned Follow the
guidelines outlined in the last step to adjust the
wires until the wing will slide all the way on Bend
the wires a little at a time and frequently check the
fit of the wing as you go The easiest way to

remove the wing is to wrap your fingers around the
